Mrs Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery - The "All About It" Books

Mrs. Beeton

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Mrs. Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery is an authoritative compendium of recipes and culinary advice that reflects the Victorian era's fascination with domesticity and efficiency. Mrs. Beeton employs a straightforward, accessible prose style, making the text not only practical but also inviting. Organized thematically for ease of navigation, the book encompasses a wide array of dishes and techniques, addressing the needs of both novice cooks and seasoned homemakers. This work situates itself within the broader context of 19th-century cookery literature, contributing to the burgeoning genre of domestic guides that sought to elevate the status of household management among women. Born Isabella Beeton in 1836, Mrs. Beeton became an emblematic figure in the realm of culinary literature. Her experiences as a young bride and her observations of middle-class domestic life informed her writing, allowing her to resonate with readers seeking guidance in an increasingly industrialized society. Her own struggles with disease and motherhood also imbued her work with a sense of empathy and realism, bridging the gap between elegance and practicality. I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery for anyone interested in the historical context of cooking or seeking inspiration for contemporary meals. This seminal work is not only a treasure trove of recipes but also a window into the sociocultural dynamics of the Victorian home, making it an essential addition to both culinary enthusiasts and scholars alike.

Tequila Wars - Jose Cuervo and...

Ted Genoways

At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
 
 
 
In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
 
 
 
The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.
